Hello everyone! Today is ash Wednesday and I’ll be talking about what I’m giving up for the next forty days of lent but you’ll have to keep reading to find out! For now let me just tell you it’s cold outside, and I can’t wait for Spring to officially come. One of the best things about winter is the fact that you can gain weight and hide it with lots of layers and furry coats. The not so good thing? Summer comes next and you need to figure out what to do with your extra pounds.
I like buying stylish pieces but at the same time, I want fashion and functionality to be in the same page. I bought this beautiful cardigan at Raffi, this luxury clothing store and I’m loving it. I feel like it’s the perfect piece for Winter, Fall and Spring because you mix and match it with different accessories.
I personally matched it with my new Gucci belt (this is actually my first Gucci piece). Lately I’m obsessed with vintage stuff and I really wanted a Gucci belt but I also wanted a vintage piece so I found this belt and I totally fell in love with it! It goes great with light colors and it also looks amazing with casual outfits.
I’ve been looking at different sites that sell vintage designer pieces and I guess I’ll share those in a different post π so you’ll have to stay tuned and wait till I reveal those links! For now, let me just tell you I’ll be giving up to online shopping and sugar for this lent.
You all know I’m a shopaholic, and it can be bad because I don’t like getting attached to material stuff. I honestly try to just get those statement pieces and maybe 1-2 trendy items but temptation kicks in sometimes. This lent I promise I won’t be tempted, but do not worry because I have a lot of stuff I haven’t photographed and I need to show you! Plenty of content is coming π
As far as giving up sugar…I’m doing it because it gives me a stomachache when I eat too much and the problem is; once I have a little bit of sugar, I want more. So I always end up with stomach issues. We’ll see how that goes!
